(ST. GEORGE, Utah) - The first pet adoption event in southern Utah since Best Friends Animal Society launched the No-Kill Utah (NKUT) initiative is coming to St. George this Friday and Saturday at J.C. Snow Park 300 East 900 South. More than 100 adoptable puppies, kittens, dogs, cats and bunnies from local animal shelters and rescue groups just waiting to charm their way into your life 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., Friday, April 25th and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., Saturday, April 26th. Adoptions fees start at $25 for cats, $50 dogs and include spay/neuter, vaccinations and adoption starter kit.

Last month, Best Friends Animal Society, along with dozens of animal welfare organizations, announced the launch of NKUT as a final push to make Utah a state that no longer kills cats and dogs in shelters, simply for not finding homes. The goal is to make Utah a no-kill state by the beginning of 2019. The initiative is designed to get animal shelters around the state to a collective 90 percent save rate, which would make Utah the nation’s second no-kill state, following New Hampshire
